Ceisteanna (155)

Róisín Shortall

Ceist:

155. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Justice and Equality further to his Dáil statement of 26 February 2014, in which he referred to the failure of gardaí to advise a person (details supplied) of the hearing and determination in the District Court of the criminal prosecution taken against the person who assaulted them, if he will explain the inconsistency between this account and the account provided by this person in which they stated that they were contacted by a garda two days before the hearing to say that the case was not going ahead and that there was no need for them to be in the court; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12421/14]

Other than saying that the person concerned should have had the opportunity to be present in Court, it would be inappropriate for me to comment further. As I understand from what the person concerned has said publicly that the person currently has a complaint before the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, I do not want to say anything in relation to any issue which is under investigation.
